Professional reviews

"Winner of the 2010 Costa Children’s Book Award Shortlisted for the Booktrust Teenage Prize 2010 Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2011 'Honest, brave and devastating - Out of Shadows is more than just memorable. It's impossible to look away.' Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief 'An extraordinary coming-of-age novel . . . a startlingly original debut . . .

The Bookseller"
